She always surrounded by paintings and bonsai collections that her father collected over the years. Leads her to be deepy attached to nature and animals. She sees the art as a woven relationship between those elements including traditional arts, people, animals and everything in between. When brought together in a thoughtful and beautiful way, the new relationships can be fluid, visceral and electrically charged. She found her arts is her unique way of communicating, to tell her stories that sometimes it's difficult for her to express thru words. She chose her ceramic as medium of her arts, teaching her to see life in positive way, to be more accepting and forgiving allowing the flow of creativity works from unpredictable matter. There are so many elements contribute into a single piece, the temperature, dryness of clay or too much glaze or too little. Some difficult situation force her to not giving up, be more focus, flexible and propel her to be more organically creative.

“BLUYU (Blue You): moving to a new place feels like a complete new world when everything is so fresh and new. So much to learn, so much to explore. I've seen thru the eyes of my dog Buddy, to stop and smell the flowers rather than fussing around and focusing on the negative things in the world. Learning to embrace the little things that we sometimes forget matter.”
